Ohhhh this is about to get a lot more interesting!!
====================
Demand that Gwen Ifill be fired as the moderator of the Vice Presidential debate!
Dear Fellow American:
The mainstream (liberal) media’s smear campaign against Governor Sarah Palin has been one of the ugliest chapters in the history of modern witch hunts.
Well, it has just become uglier—just when you probably thought that was impossible.
It turns out that the “moderator” of the Thursday, October 2 vice presidential debate—PBS anchor Gwen Ifill—has a clear conflict of interest.
Ms. Ifill is the author of a forthcoming book celebrating the politics and career of Senator Barack Obama. Her book is titled The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, and is scheduled to be published on Inauguration Day—January 20, 2009. She obviously has both an ideological and a financial interest in the success of the Obama-Biden campaign, one of the parties to this debate. If that isn’t a clear conflict of interest, I don’t know what would be.
This serious conflict of interest was not disclosed beforehand to Senator John McCain or to his vice presidential running mate, Governor Sarah Palin. In the words of attorney and TV host Greta Van Susteren, they “should have been told before the campaign agreed to have her moderate. It simply is not fair—in law, this would create a mistrial.”
The American people deserve an honest and transparent moderation of this debate. Please join me in demanding that the Commission on Presidential Debates fire her and replace her with an impartial host. Click here (http://conservativehq.com/active-petitions/fire-gwen-ifill/) for the petition.
